MOORE, Okla. -- A well known financial services firm offers some heartwarming assistance for victims of the May 20th tornado.

Cantor Fitzgerald, a company that lost most of their workforce during the terrorist attack on 9-11, donated a $1000 to every family that had a child in the Moore school district and had their home damaged or destroyed on May 20th.

Somewhere between 1,200 and 1,400 victims in Moore were eligible for the help.

At a thousand dollars each, well over a million dollars were donated, with no strings attached.

"Everything was like an earthquake and within seconds the house was gone and I was standing outside," recalls Gina Sowah.

Gina's home and neighborhood, like many others got wiped out by May 20th's EF5 tornado.

Many like Gina lost everything they owned.

"It's been very tough for me," said Gina.

Gina is one of hundreds standing in line waiting for a $1,000 in assistance.
